About
A blackout leaves those affected to consider what is necessary, what is legal, and what is questionable, in order to survive in a predatory environment.
When a massive power outage plunges a city into darkness, the typical survivalist tropes shift from physical combat to a chilling psychological breakdown of social contracts. This claustrophobic thriller focuses less on the chaos of the streets and more on the quiet, terrifying erosion of morality among neighbors.
